Change...

This is something that may be difficult for some and easy for others. I believe it depends on the case or type of change one is encountering. The change that I am going through right now involves a new chapter that is being opened in my life. I just recently graduated from college (no I have no idea what I am supposed to yet), but I am not worried that I wont find out sometime. For many of us this change is very different. That is the case for me. It only have been a little less then a month since I graduated it has been a crazy change. Applying for jobs that I didnt see myself working at with a college degree, going on tour for the last time with the evangels drama team, the realization that I will not get to see all my friends on a day-to-day basis and so many other things that have happened just in this short amount of time. Yes, honestly, this scares me, but I can do it. I was looking a pictures on the internet the other day and I come accross a picture that got me really thinking. Despite all the changes going on in my life right now and me not thinking that I can handle them I wa instantly reminded of something. Since I do not have a computer and I have to usemy Ipad I am unable to upload the picture that I am talking about. So...I will attempt to describe it to you, (key word being attempt). It is a picture of a forest with trees all around it and the wind gushing through the limbs. The wind is knocking down the leaves in the trees and forming at the base of all the trees a human person. The leaes are forming the features of a human. Right now your probably wondering why I am sharing this picture with you. Yeterday I was doing my devotion because I had realized that I was nto being the faithful person I needed to be in my studies of God. All these changes in my life have been takng me down slowly. But as I opened my Bible I couldnt think of a book that I wanted to read. So I sat there in silence asking God what He wanted me to learn and hear. This is a rare occasion for me, because normally I have a idea of where I want to read. I opened the BIble to the book of Joshua to chapter 1. I had the intentions to read alot of this book because I felt like thats what I needed. I was wrong! God had a different idea for me. I couldn't even get past chapter nine in the first chapter. I just could not stop thinking about verses 8 and 9 in this chapter. Joshua 1:8-9 (ESV) states,

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you woll make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your GOd is with you wherever you go.

They hit me so hard, because here I was worrying about what I am supposed to do in this life and now that I have graduated. The picture that I came accross was a perfect example of these two verses. Everything that we go through and encounter, read and meditate on and learn through the SCripture are the things that form us into who we are supposed to be for Him. Even though I do not know exactly where He wants me at this very point in my life, but I have been given His Word and the knowledge of it has been instilled in me. I have no reason to worry about not being ok.
